Hey all, new caver from NC. Just got back from first time in Morrils in TN and I'm hooked. Have a friend who is experienced and been trying to get me to come for a while. Joined the forum so I can bug you guys with newbie questions instead of him. :)

Join the NSS at www.caves.org . Do it today before the dues go up $5. At the NSS website, you can find other local cave groups, info, etc.And get yourself a copy of CAVING BASICS from the NSS bookstore (discount for members). It has everything you'd want to know about caves and caving.
